Ummm ALL those mods & ONLY 557 rwhp & peak for snap shot of 700+ rwtq is NOT a "W"

Even w/ALL TQ limiters IN PLACE & STOCK TCU (modded ECU ONLY @ time of my dyno I'm comparing to your attempt here, on my SL600) MY TQ graph is flat beyond slight peak @2500 rpm's due to the DynoDynamics we used ONLY had rear straps & couldn't stop/hold the car in early rpm's..

Having said that I have STOCK Intercoolers, modified OEM AIRBOXES etc my TQ curve from peak near 700 rwtq @ 2500 rpm's stays TABLE TOP FLAT thru 4000 rpm's then drops ever so slightly All the way to 5000 rpm's still holding 600 rwtq then @ cut off 6k still held 500 rwtq. This is on SL600

Your rwhp ALSO takes A DUMP just like TQ curve After PEAK @ 3000 rpm's, then climbs again (you sure you didn't downshift to 3rd? from 4th 1:1 gear) as I stated earlier this 65/600 TT package is heavily flawed.. Starting w/Pizza-OVEN AIRBOX get it sorted bra...These are #'s an average to weak TUNED ONLY SL65 should run...

Again? these TQ #'s look like ECU tune ONLY DynoJet readings, though rwhp is slightly LOWER? what is this cloak n dagger Dyno???????

PS your Intercooling & NASA Launch-Pad airbox are inherently flawed, you also picture a LARGER Heat-Exchanger you installed on your SL65 project, I'm STILL running my ****-ant OEM H/E

PS.. I know you Eastcosters also get 93 octane, my 600 was tuned w/CA puzzy tree hugga' 91 Octane, in blazing summer heat w/ZERO cooldwns bet 20-25 runs I honestly lost count, on Dyno for good 4hours she made 565 rwhp near 700 rwtq that day on DD, later on another Dyno (DynoJet this time) w/same 91 ECU we iced her down, loaded tank w/100 oct & made 633 rwhp & estimated 800+ rwtq (no TQ pickup on DJ w/out tapping wires)

I ONLY say/repeat my results to show you it's very evident your products need a MAJOR overhaul, sorry to be blunt but consumers need to know these aren't great results you've posted here...

The VRP/ or Speedriven Larger IC's & working CAI's made 692 rwhp 912 rwtq, see again how off your #s are...

Sean, would dyno #'s read higher if the pull was made in 3rd instead of 4th?

Most definitely...But only about 10-15 rwhp @ MOST but still would show thru entire curve not just PEAK #'s (I've seen it done on multiple different cars I've owned thru the yrs as well as being present at friends Dyno sessions...

Another brilliant Question was posed to me by a great intelligent friend of mine on these boards Notice NO smoothing/Correction??? means these #'s are even lower if it wasn't done.

(if it was corrected/smoothing set to 5 like it should be, it's ALWAYS noted on Dyno graph) I Don't see it ANYWHERE as well as we know they used @ least 93 octane (prolly higher like 100 octane, since they're trying to sell this awesome kit)

Lastly... I bet they added North of 50-60 extra lbs in that odd air-intake & super odd IC design bolted to the already heavy *** 65 engine bay...

This is on a dyno-dynamics dyno. It just has newer software. DD dyno's dont show smoothing or any SAE correction factors on their charts Like DJ's do. In most cases what is seen in the dyno chart is corrected already
